Notes
Great race today! I didn't go in with a lot of concrete goals, but my ambitious goal was to break 38 and I would have been happy with 38:30. It was a hilly course, not as bad as the Fall Running Festival 10K but close. My splits were 7:24, 7:29, 7:46, 7:27, and 7:39. I was proud of how relatively even they were. The third mile was slower because of the Community Park hill. The last mile had some hills too, and I was getting tired...but I knew it was possible to break 38 so I gave it everything I had. This is, I'm pretty sure, a lifetime PR for 5 miles. This is the only 5-mile race I've ever run, and I'm pretty sure I've never broken 38 here before. I was also excited about the AG 2nd-place...it's a fairly sizeable race compared to most local turkey trots. I won a nice mug with the race logo. I also got a new 4-mile PR of 30:08!
